Initial feel:
 String is quite smooth but with a slick / oily feel as with all titanium string models.
 Not very soft but does not feel very stiff as well. (6/10, 1 = very soft strings (nylon fibers); 10 = very stiff strings)
 String is quite stretchy when lightly pulled by hand.

Under Stringing:
 String doesn’t stretch excessively under tensioning process unlike some strings in the market.
 Surprisingly doesn’t generate too much twisting (easily manageable) which is quite common with slick / oily coating string.
 String also doesn’t cause too much fuss or problems under the weaving process like some very rough strings or slick strings.
 String does have a slightly higher pitch upon lightly tapping with palm after completion of stringing.

Hitting time:
 Medium-hard (crisp & solid) feeling with lots of explosiveness power. (7.5/10 scale, 1 = soft feeling ; 10 = hard feeling)
 Crisp initial impact with plenty of drive onto the shuttle.
 Very pleasant slightly high pitched hitting sound.
 Not very forgiving with miss-hits, not a lot of response hitting away from sweet spot as well as plenty of vibration.
 Very good touch feeling, effortless net and forecourt shots.
 Surprisingly very effective with slices even though the strings are quite smooth. (It doesn’t have absolutely bite on the shuttle as some other strings do but it is effective enough in bringing the shuttle down).
 Very happy with the tension retaining properties of the string. A slight noticeable drop in tension after the first session but stabilizes slowly after. (Observed over a period of 96 hours) (8.5/10, 1 = very bad tension retention; 10 = very good tension retention).

Summary: A simple list of key points is presented with scores ranging from 1-10 with 10 being highest/best score and 1 being the lowest. (These are all based on personal experience and opinions)

Overall, it is a very good feeling string which packs a lot of punch. Not sacrificing control as well having a sharp crisp hitting sound. It also seems to be holding up quite well in the durability department. I’ve been impressed with its attributes so far and could be thinking that Ashaway is onto another winner here.

Once again, I would like to thank Goode Sport for the sample. It’s been much appreciated.

Ratings wise, it was done based on what I felt with the strings.
I have tested a good amount of different strings of differing brands over the years and have been noting down what I felt with them and using them as a benchmark in writing my feedback.

I've also previously extensively used the ZM62 and ZM65. The 67 and 70 werent my favourite thus not as much.

But I can say this ZM67-Ti is up there as one of the better strings coming from manufacturers.

Repulsion Power: ZM62 > ZM65 = ZM67Ti (I personally feel that the 67Ti provides an easier power generation compared to the 65, it is probably down to the feel coming off the strings.)
Control: ZM65 > ZM62 > 67Ti
Durability: ZM67Ti > ZM65 > ZM62
Hitting Sound: ZM62 > ZM65 > ZM67Ti (The 67Ti just losing out by just a bit since it is a 0.69mm string,
but it has a very high pitch for a 0.69mm string).
Shock Absorption: ZM67Ti > ZM62 > ZM65
Tension Retention: ZM62 > ZM65 > ZM67Ti (As the 67Ti is the thickest string but it is one of the best by far for a 0.69mm string).
String Stiffness: ZM65 > ZM67Ti > ZM62

Overall Feel: ZM62 > ZM67Ti > ZM65

These are all my own personal feedback and opinions, it may vary from yours as each of us have a personal preference to how our strings perform.
